That's not fair at all. Fair is when you buy it, you own it. If it comes with the right to play online then fair is being able to sell and trade that right as well.

If the game maker's complaint is that they have to spend money to maintain online infrastructure after the game's release then, after a certain point, they should charge a proper amount to play online. But they should charge all who are playing online, because all are helping to create cost, not just those who are playing with a used copy.

That model would probably best for everyone involved. It would match the charges with the costs. Probably most importantly, it would help the game makers see clearly which games should have a online component and which games shouldn't. Now they seem to think that all games should be online, and they shouldn't.

Maybe you didn't catch it because it was text, but I was playing on the whole "rumor" BS that we see every day around here. I don't buy rumors, I buy facts. Which is why I can laugh and enjoy some of the posts we've seen recently.

M$ agenda is having their cablebox720 DRM, isn't XBL enough?? I thought XBL was ripoff for not being able to play the game i own online, but with "Always On" crap you'll have to pay and stay connected to play the SP. PS4 will rule the next gen for sure.

Xbox meh ill pass they can keep kinect focus garbage only idiots will give them a second chance with all the bs they did wrong (RROD fiasco, paying for online, kinect lies and garbage, few exclusive ips to mention, etc....) but Sony is doing things right and are about to take the industry by storm!!!! Lets get it!!!!!
